PARENT-TEACHER-ORGANIZATION (PTO)
An active parent organization functions at Oak Hills. PTO is a volunteer and parent/community organization that exists to promote and enhance the educational opportunities at Oak Hills, and to help develop a sense of community. The Principal and Assistant Principal serve as non-voting members. All parents and interested community members are automatically members of PTO.
Meetings are held monthly, generally on the second Monday alternating between 3:00pm and 7:00pm every other month. The dates and times are listed in the yearly school calendar and on the weekly newsletter.
